From b9f174c811e3ae4ae8959dc57e6adb9990e913f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Sandoval Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2023 14:14:56 -0700 Subject: x86/unwind/orc: Add ELF section with ORC version identifier Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel, it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change. It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table). Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script can be updated. This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the 20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding __start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux. 1: https://github.com/osandov/drgn 2: https://github.com/osandov/drgn/issues/303 Fixes: ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC metadata") Fixes: fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in two") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/aef9c8dc43915b886a8c48509a12ec1b006ca1ca.1686690801.git.osandov@osandov.com --- include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h') diff --git a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h index cebdf1ca415d..da9e5629ea43 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h @@ -839,6 +839,9 @@ #ifdef CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC #define ORC_UNWIND_TABLE \ + .orc_header : AT(ADDR(.orc_header) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \ + BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(.orc_header, _orc_header) \ + } \ . = ALIGN(4); \ .orc_unwind_ip : AT(ADDR(.orc_unwind_ip) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \ BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(.orc_unwind_ip, _orc_unwind_ip) \ -- cgit v1.2.3
